Awesome Generator

Bought this generator a year ago in preparation for the next major storm. Generator sat in its box in the shed for a year until Hurricane Helene hit us the other day. Broke out the generator, added the oil that came with it, hooked up the propane, and it fired right up with no issues whatsoever. My WGen5300DFv worked straight out of the box after sitting for a year. I am happy to say I am truly blessed at the performance and power of this model. I was running 2 floor fans, light, 2 refrigerators, and my deep freezer with ZERO ISSUES or Concerns. THANK YOU Westinghouse for an outstanding product. You bailed me out when needed and as I stated before I am truly thankful.

dual fuel genny!

This seems to be very good dual fuel generator for the price. Installed wheels, added included oil, added some non-ethanol gasoline. It fired up on the 2nd pull. Ran it for a hour break-in with no load. Impressed so far and would buy again.

Worked Great for 1 Day!

Bought this generator to replace a unit I have had for over a decade, followed instructions, Five hour break in period, everything worked fine. next day, half the electric went out and machine was running rough. Going to need to contact customer service. Will follow up( if possible) after machine is repaired/ replaced..

Easy setup everything you need but fuel

I bought this as a backup for the freezer. My wife & I liked the duel fuel as we have other propane appliances. I had it running in 20 min. including assembly. It comes with oil, a propane hose and tools to assemble. I don't have gas so I started it with propane. Two pulls and it fired right up. If the Total Harmonic Distortion was lower I would have given 5 stars. However electronics is not the main concern.

Great Features & Easy to Move

I bought this and am very please with how easy it was to put together. I also like how easy it is to move around with the two wheels attached. That is a big plus for me because the generator weighs about 150 lbs. I haven't had to use it yet, but it was very easy for me to start. Overall it is a very great buy!

Nice features

Only had the generator a short time but, I like the fact that it's dual fuel, has the RV receptacle, and is relatively small for the capabilities it offers. It's a nice-looking unit and started with three pulls out of the box using propane. Time will tell, but pretty happy with it so far!

Can run overnight on a gas fill up

I purchased this to use after Hurricane Ian this month. Was very happy that it ran on propane and gas. I wasn't sure what fuel I would be able to get. It also was able to run overnight on one filling of gas. We could watch tv, power our CPAP machines and the refrigerator and lights without waking up in the night because my CPAP machine stopped working.

So far, so good

I have assembled and prepped, but have not used yet. Mostly assembled but did assemble stand feet and wheels, as well as add oil. Parts were very sturdy and easy to assemble. I used synthetic oil (5w-30) that instructions recommend, instead of what came with it. All-in-all, seems very well-built and sturdy. I'll update after use.

Built solid and comes with everything you need.

Having a parts breakdown is really helpful for ease of maintenance. My initial impression is that it's built solid and looks like it'll live a long life. Noise is on par with similar priced generators. This is one of the few models that actually has a 250v NEMA L14-30 receptacle.

Easiest pull start I’ve ever seen!

We’ve used this generator a couple of times now and it runs great. I was most impressed with how easy the pull start is! The very first time we started it, we added the gas and oil and expected it to take a few pulls to get going. Nope! It started on the first pull - easy as pie. Nice to have a generator that I can start by myself.
